Our second annual student art competition has officially wrapped up for 2026. We were delighted to receive more than double the entries from last year - an impressive 66 incredible pieces!

Students from Year 1 through Year 12 from 18 schools across  the NT dazzled us with their creativity and made it a very tough job to judge. After much deliberation, here are the results: 

In first place was Aura, Year 10 from Katherine High School. 
Second place was awarded to Olena, Year 1 from Jabiru Area School.
Coming third was Nanami, Year 3 from Leanyer Primary School. 

A huge congratulations to these three students who will each be receiving a Jacksons Art Supplies voucher: $150 for first, $100 for second and $50 for third place. We extend a big thank you to Jacksons, for generously supporting our 2026 competition and being advocates for student creativity.

Our remaining entrants, whose pieces we also absolutely loved, will each be awarded a certificate and a small art supply to continue their creative ventures!

Another huge thanks to all who entered - and to the parents, teachers and staff who encouraged and assisted their students. We look forward to returning the competition next year!

Keep your eyes peeled to see some of these great art pieces in our 2026-27 Annual Report publication, as well as across our website.
